Article 21 requires providers of high-risk AI systems to cooperate with national competent authorities (NCAs) and the AI Office upon request. Cooperation obligations include: providing authorities with all necessary information and documentation to demonstrate conformity with the AI Act requirements; granting access to the automatically generated logs per Article 20; and conducting testing and inspections as required. Providers must designate a point of contact for authority communications. Non-EU providers must ensure their authorised representative (Article 22) has the authority and resources to fulfil Article 21 cooperation obligations on their behalf. Refusal to cooperate is grounds for market surveillance action under Article 74.
